Oh, how beautiful. I love visiting other gardens. Thanks for the tour. The Dianthus is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteAutumn Belle,
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Your mystery flower is called Red Salvia or Scarlet Sage, Salvia splendens. It's very attractive to hummingbirds.

Autumn Belle, "Flowers" and "National Unity" -- I love this connection. Yes, your mystery plant is a salvia. I haven't visited lately (I've been too busy gardening) so I just spent a happy time catching up on your gardening news. Thanks for the tour. Pam x
ReplyDeleteAutumn Belle to be surrounded by such beauty is heavenly.
ReplyDeleteLona, Nanina, Pam, Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the visit and comments. I am so delighted I can get the answer so fast :)
Helen, Good Morning! I just miss you by 1 min.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful flowers at the garden. Is the number 1 sign at the entrance covered by flowers?
ReplyDeleteI just wondered..concerning the blue in that "1 MALAYSIA LOGO".
ReplyDeleteSeemed like now they started spraying on the white mums rather than getting a true blue flowers.
I still remember one time ago, they used the same thing on white roses.(spray blue on them)
Guess the artificial colouring is far from over.
Good morning,Autumn Belle, What spectacular beauties, you are right, few words are needed....
ReplyDeleteRoseBelle, the huge no.1 signs at the entrance and the other 2 little ones at the pergola are made entirely of flowers.
ReplyDeleteJames, you just got me thinking. I'm so embarassed to say I haven't thought about this at all because I was in a 'trance' state being captivated by real flowers everywhere I walked. I heard some visitors remarked and asked each other if the flowers were real. When they touched it and found that it was indeed real flowers, they were so impressed.
If I get the chance to go again, I will definitely check this out. You should be in the private investigation agency because you are really very observant!
Kitchen Flavours, if you can't make it this year, do put it in your diary. You can stay in Putrajaya and have some siteseeing e.g. visit PM residence, the Botanical Garden, just to name a few. I think Floria 2011 will be around the same time.
It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe red flowers are called Salvia. Your flowers are very beautiful, and the same flowers are blooming here at this time too. I have not seen that old fashioned Petunia of late in garden shows. That one has a nice fragrance unlike the hibrid varieries which are popular these days.Have a floral weekend!
ReplyDelete1Malaysia is a wonderful concept Autumn Bell. Gardens and flowers bring people together in a very special way. Terima kasih!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Autumn Belle! And yes, I agree, the red flower is salvia. I have it in my garden for hummingbirds and butterflies. Happy GBBD!!
ReplyDeleteNIce flowers Autumn. I can almost smell the spicy fragrance of the Dianthus.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Autumn! Nothing like the bright blooms of annuals to perk up the garden during this hot summer. Happy Bloom Day!
